An Shujia particularly enjoyed watching Yu Ningning struggle futilely like a mouse under a cat's claws, only to be toyed with until she died. She often called Yu Ningning.
Every time Yu Ningning's job was ruined, she was kicked out by her landlord, and she was left with no other choice but to borrow money from old friends, she would always receive a condescending and sarcastic phone call from An Shujia without fail.
Of course, Yu Ningning would blacklist her number after each call.
An Shujia didn't care.
Just call from a different number.
As for how Yu Ningning would naturally be in a terrible mood every time she received the call, begging her to let her go, or hysterically pleading and cursing, she... would only get more excited.
In her view, this was the price Yu Ningning had to pay.
This time was different from the previous times, because the voice on the other end of the phone was an unfamiliar male voice: "Huh, what's this? Hello, hello, what are you saying?"
Perhaps due to a poor signal, the sound was muffled and choppy, but she still managed to hear the other person's reply: "This must be the magical object the dean mentioned that allows people to communicate across vast distances. It's truly amazing. I just wonder who made the call."
Then she heard a rather proud voice: "So that you, a lady from a thousand miles away, may know that I am His Majesty the First Emperor of the Great Qin Empire, which possesses the entire world."
Knowing that Yu Ningning never liked answering her calls and often asked someone else to answer them for her, An Shujia assumed that Yu Ningning was up to some kind of trick to avoid her.
This time, however, the trick was too bizarre.
So she just smiled and said to herself, "Yu Ningning, I just received a call from the person in charge of the Pingyuan Film Festival. Your Best Supporting Actress award is going to be mine. Are you happy to hear this news? You should be happy, after all, after winning this award, you were considered the most promising young actress and earned ten million yuan in six months. It made me, who was working on the assembly line at the time, envious for a whole year."
"But now you should return all this money to me, every single penny..."
Because he was not good at using a mobile phone, Qin Shi Huang thought the person on the other end was talking to him.
In addition, the mental hospital was located in a remote area with very poor telephone signal. Because he was not good at using the novelty of mobile phones, Qin Shihuang kept fiddling with the phone while answering the call, which greatly affected the signal. An Shujia's voice came through intermittently.
Amidst the continuous buzzing and commotion, Qin Shi Huang only managed to glean a few fragmented words.
He didn't understand what the other person meant by "award," but when he caught the words "ten million," "repay every penny," and "you owe me," his eyes widened suddenly.
Repay every penny!
Ten million!
Because he wasn't good at using modern units of measurement, he even started counting on his fingers.
He earns 10 yuan a day washing potatoes, which is 300 yuan a month and 3,600 yuan a year. To earn 10 million yuan, he would have to wash potatoes for 2,277 years.
According to the young woman called the Dean, the Qin Empire he was in had existed for 2231 years...
In other words, to earn that ten million yuan and repay the woman across the street in full, he would have to wash a whole basin of potatoes every day, from the Qin Dynasty to the present!
This woman, whoever she came from, is so vicious. She actually wants to make him pay off her debt of ten million yuan by washing potatoes from the Qin Dynasty to the present day, based on just a few words!
Yesterday, Yu Ningning told him that the living environment in this world was extremely harsh, that she made him wash a whole basin of potatoes every day and only gave him ten yuan, which was already a great favor. She said that he was already living a very happy life and that he should learn to adjust his mindset and cherish his blessings. However, Qin Shihuang was still quite skeptical.
But after encountering this inexplicable debt-collecting woman, he had come to realize the treacherous nature of the world.
I never would have guessed that the dean was such a good person.
